Question about Oxandralone and down regulation

[HANDLER]

I understand that OX is very safe, low toxicity.
I also understand that it will not aromatize at any dosage, so far so good.
It seems to me moderatly anabolic so thats good.
Water retention is minnimal for those of us with hypertension.
But my big question is this:
WILL IT CAUSE DOWN REGULATIONB RESULTING IN SUPRESSED TESTOSTERONE LEVELS?
It has taken me years to get my test levesl back up to a low normal range after lots of steroid useage.
Now I'm lifting heavy again and want to jump on some gas but not like the old days. I need to be moderate and use something that will have very minnimal affects on my test levels.
Thanks guys, mike

all steroids are suppresive depending on the length and dosage used even anavar.. I was told that tbol wasnt supressive but after 3 weeks my nuts were like raisins.

what have you done to correct your natural t-levels?

Tied hormone therapy in the beginning. That caused a dependency. The I decided to just go cold turkey and let my body do its thing so for like 2 years now, I have not done anything. Its finally come up to about 350 based upon a 200-800 normal range.
Thats not great but its better than it was when its was like 180.
I tried a lot of Clomid early on which seems to help some but not me.
Other than that nada buddy.

of course there's going to be a dependancy, but if its something you need, because your body isn't producing on its own, then I don't see a problem with it. Diabetics are dependant on insulin and people with kidney problems are dependant on dialysis.. nothing wrong with it, its just how it is.

Yea I have no problem with hormone replacement therapy at all. Its just that its a pain in the ass.
The creams and gels suck, the patches suck, injection is the only way to go and I can even get my doc to let me do self administration but it gets old. One of the nice things about being between cycles is giving your ass a break from the assault.
To think that I would have to do that everyday none stop is not exciting.
Surely some of this gas caused much less down regulation that others??
I appreciate your thoughts bro
